Conference Description:

There is a clear theme in this year’s program for Managing Today’s OR Suite. OR directors are making things happen, and they want to talk about them. They are changing the OR culture, improving patient safety, increasing efficiency, managing costs, and generally getting things done. They are pushing teamwork and building better communication and collaboration with physicians. If you want to make things happen in your OR, come to Managing Today’s OR Suite conference. You’ll listen to OR directors and managers talk about their accomplishments. You’ll compare notes and network with colleagues. You'll take home information and strategies that you can use to make positive changes in your OR.

Here are some of the highlights from the general sessions:

• What would Florence do? Joe Tye will talk about what Florence Nightingale might do as she faced today’s health care challenges.

• Health care faces continuing change. David C. Goodman, MD, director of the Center for Health Policy Research at Dartmouth, will provide some insight on what you can anticipate in surgical services.

• Disney Institute offers outstanding management programs, and you’ll hear Disney’s take on quality service.

• Get beyond the coffee mug gift to show that you appreciate your employees. S. Max Brown is back with more on creating a positive work environment.

Best of all, we will be at the Walt Disney World® Resort in Orlando. At the welcoming reception, Mickey Mouse and other Disney characters will be available for photo ops. What could be better fun?! We look forward to welcoming you to Orlando!
